Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the Compatriot Movement evolved into various splinter movements based around the Reds on one side and the Whites on the other. The movement gradually collapsed by World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. By the 1980s, a movement known as Neocompatriotism began to emerge, gaining wider popularity following the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Neocompatriots simply favor stronger ties with the Russian Federation and (to a lesser extent) Russian-dominated Eurasia).
